It has been 1 year and 1 day since I found the 5 and 3/4 pound silver cache buried in a clay flower pot last year ! After finding and posting the cache I found last year, quite a few of you made comments to the effect that there were likely more caches to be found nearby, Contending that, A person who uses the ground as a bank rarely puts all his eggs in 1 basket just in case someone finds 1 they will not go bust ! I Thought the same way ! In the past year I had returned looking for more buried caches at least 15 times. Most of those hunts at least 4 hours ! I would usually find a few small keepers so the hunt was never really boring ! There is nary a signal left in a 100 yard circle of the old cache ! The last theory I had left to other possible hiding places was that my first cache was a fence post cache and that perhaps there was at one time a fence bordering the field I had been hunting even though there was no evidence of a fence left ! I had pursued this theory on the last 4 hunts and had found no sign of a ground bank or a fence ! I had covered nearly all the field line and still only the occasional keeper ! I had started at the top of the field and worked my way down the line for two days ,nothing ! When I returned I Parked and started at the bottom of the field and worked up the line 2 more trips and nothing ! In the back of my mind I noted that my up and down hunts on the line I predicated was there had never overlapped . These Past hunts I am commenting on took place over the course of last year on random dates ! Today I decided to cover the small middle piece of the line I had not been over ! It tuned out to be about a 10 yard strip which I had not been over yet ! The rest of the line I had put a coil over twice! Well It paid me off to finish the theory search work I had laid out for myself l I found cache # 2 today ! 1 year and 1 day after the first ! It is a lot smaller ! $ 14.00 face value in silver ! 20 walking Liberties , 10 washington Quarters , 14 Mercs and 1 1946 Rosie ! The first find I made Today was what I believe is the front piece of a Ladies fashion buckle or perhaps the front of a broach ! With a good sized ruby looking stone ! This nice looking Relic piece really sharpened my senses and I was lost in the zone ! Next I picked up a wheatie ! Good sign I thought to my self maybe I will pick up a silver ! 2 feet from the penny a big overload signal ! Well it doesn't discrim out so I dig ! Not very deep 2 inches from the top pieces of a small clear glass bottle come up out of the ground ! I rescaned the hole figuring the bottle top must be the overload ! I reach in with my hand to feel around for the cover and came out with a small handful of silver !! I had found Cache # 2 . HORRAY ! I Knewr better than to leave the glass bottle in the ground this time !

Well, I guess you have to go on the theory if there's one, then there's two, and if there's 2 then there's 4. I think you'll have to go a little farther down that line in all metal mode and sensitivity to the max, and dig all those bank deposits.
Congrats...it's a banner.

Please continue the fenceline theory , but also consider the possibility of a geometric pattern ( a triangle of 3 caches, a square 4 of caches , etc etc .) You have a distance to work with now that you have found 2 caches. Try plotting various geometric patterns and search those areas equidistant from the first 2 caches . Your persistance and subsequent results are impressive and i would think there would be more caches in the area. Awesome job!! and congrats on the banner ...Again!!

As most any Mainer would say that's "wicked awesome"! If I was you I'd pitch a tent and cover every square inch within 200 yards of the spot. Seems to me that not many people around here had that much extra money, but since whoever lived on that place buried what you have found so far, it's likely there's more hidden. I hope you find more, it must feel almost like you won the lottery. You've got about 6 months before the ground freezes up again so hit it hard.

Wow! I wish I had the persistence that you have. I think that looking for a second cache I would have talked myself out of it, saying to myself its crazy to think there are two. I think I have just learned a great deal from you and I thank you much! I saw one of the fellows mentioned about triangulating it or going for a square. Do you think there could be more? I guess maybe I think that two would be the limit for folks with real limited resources. I live along the Hudson river in New York State and there should be an unlimited amount of goodies to find there given the history. I have been MD'ing for a few years now but lack the ability to choose a god spot to hunt. They are here all over but I cannot seem to find them. Oh well I guess I will just presss on. Thanks much for the valuable knowledge. Bob

Hey Mainerelic, what an awesome cache find and it's #2 for you, that in itself would make this a Banner in my books. One is hard enough but two, there is definatley a third in your future, congrats on the finds and the Banner, keep them coming, Ken.

Great Cache find. I would vote Banner, but I see it made the Banner. Get some kite string and run a string line from the first cache site to the second cache. If it was a fence post bank cache, you may find another one.

Excellant find to say the least. I have been a reader of this magazine for many yrs and finally decided to join the forums.  I never really thought about sharing my finds until I started to read the online forums. I always just kept it to myself, until recently I submitted my large finds to the editor in November and from what they told me It could possibly be on the front cover of the next issue. Just wanted to say congrads on being persistant and finding your cache.
